AAA:
Michigan
gas
prices
falling
fast;
down 15
cents in
10 days
DEARBORN,
MI - Gas
prices
in
Michigan
are on a
downward
streak,
declining
for
10-consecutive
days for
a total
of 15
cents.
Michigan’s
statewide
average
was
$2.88
per
gallon
on
Sunday,
about 12
cents
less
than
last
week’s
average,
4 cents
less
than a
month
ago, and
35 cents
more
than
this
same
time
last
year.
"Fuel
prices
plunged
on the
stock
market
last
week,
which
should
clear
the way
for a
significant
discount
at the
pump,"
said
Nancy
Cain,
spokesperson,
AAA -
The Auto
Club
Group.
"Motorists
should
see a
5-10
cent
drop or
more in
the next
10 days.
This is
the type
of
downward
movement
we
normally
see at
the pump
during
the
fall.
However,
upward
pressure
could
easily
return
later
this
month,
as the
market
braces
for U.S.
sanctions
against
Iranian
crude,
and what
that
might
mean for
global
supply
and
demand."
Metro
Detroit’s
average
daily
gas
price
has also
decreased
significantly.
Metro
Detroit’s
current
average
of $2.90
per
gallon,
about 8
cents
less
than
last
week’s
average
and 3
cents
less
than
last
month.
However,
motorists
are
still
paying
about 44
cents
more
than
this
time
last
year.
Of
the ten
Michigan
metro
areas
surveyed
by AAA
for
self-serve
unleaded
fuel
prices,
the
highest
average
price
can be
found in
Marquette,
where
it’s
$3.04
per
gallon.
The
lowest
average
price
can be
found in
Lansing-East
Lansing,
where
it’s
$2.80
per
gallon.

ranks:
•
23rd in
the

expensive
average
daily
gas
price
($2.88)
• 2nd in
the
nation
for
biggest

change
(12
